6 enjoyed the bouquet.:
Kind of sad about this, Rachelle Lafevre was one of the few I really liked in her role.
i know! i wonder what the real story is behind this... there is no way it's a scheduling conflict- they've known the schedule for ahwile and Rachelle has been interviewed about Eclipse up until this very moment...hmmmmm
Interesting. I did think Rachel had some talent.
There is def something going on behind the scenes. That sucks, I really liked her. I thought her casting was spot on.
I heard this on the Dave Ryan in the morning show today. I guess they interviewed her back when Twilight came out and she is a huge diva. Maybe that had something to do witht he switch up?
I bet it had something to do with money.
